dude if you're mashing cranks likethat then the only real option is to go to 3 piece chromo jobs. just be carefull that you get mtb ones and not bmx. there are a few available that are dh specific now, i think gusset and DMR do one. they aint cheap and they aint the lightest around but soooooo much stronger and stiffer.

also have alook at the REVERSE cranks on fearlesscycles.com.au they look similar to saints with e hollow tech, but if theyre anything like the other reverse stuff they will be strong as all hell and well built too.

hope it helps

have you ever considered that maybe mountain biking isn't for you?

I don't beleive your doing it wrong. Perhaps inspecting your riding style as aposed to equipment may lead you to finding a more economical solution to you anihilating cranks.

what bike are you riding? Hardtail?

I went from DH on a hardtail to some a bit more squishy in the back end years ago. Not only my knees forgave me I didnt snap cranks and bottom brackets.

Also reccomend the reverse legends: can be foundhere
An order is going in soon for more reverse stuff so you if you get in quick that might be one way to go.

If your bending saints your doing a good job of it thats for sure!

And pardon any issues, we've just changed over to this site tonight, going to take a few days to work out the bugs and issues on the site!

Those cranks are available come september for customers.
